South Africa jabs 2,000 children in test of Chinese vaccine

The global study will enroll 2,000 participants in South Africa and 12,000 others will be taking part in Kenya, the Philippines, Chile and Malaysia.

“The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of two doses of the CoronaVac against confirmed symptomatic COVID-19 cases in children and adolescents,” said the statement.South Africa, which accounts for more than 35% of COVID-19 infections in Africa with 2.8 million confirmed cases including 84,327 deaths, and has recently battled a resurgence driven by the delta variant.

In a related story, 2000 children died of a mysterious illness the Chinese government says doesn't exist. Tomorrow's headline today.

Using the term 'jab' is another way media helps reinforce vaccine hesitancy. Do better.

As someone that grew up in South Africa, all I can say is 'Cry the beloved country'. Sellouts to the Chinese. (Or the highest bidder as recent history with the Indian Gupta family and the state capture involving former president Zuma has shown).

Phase 3 clinical trials, very interesting! Fingers crossed the results go well....and CTV, 'jab' - really? When cancer patients participate in clinical trials where the drug is administered via syringe, would your headline also say, 'jab'?

Omg this is so wrong... children's own immune system is so strong...this is not right.

What kind of parents allow a Chinese “vaccine” to be tested on their children?

You need to address the problems. Stop pushing propaganda 🐉🐲🔥

Tuff love for those kids
